As predictable as the sun rising.

The Austin City Council passed a resolution this morning aimed at ending business and travel ties to Arizona to protest a new state law that allows Arizona law enforcement officers to detain people they suspect are in the country illegally.

The resolution, proposed by Council Member Mike Martinez, calls for ending all business-related travel to Arizona by city employees, unless it is related to police investigations, providing humanitarian aid or protecting Austinites' health and safety. It also asks the city manager to review all city business with and investments in the state of Arizona and devise a plan to end those ties.

Council members have said that the new law is discriminatory and that they don't want to put city employees at risk of being detained during business travel.

So kneejerk. So meaningless. So.....Austin.
